I remember ammo brothers had some in the Ontario store for $129 but I haven't seen any recently there

Yeah, good times. Picked up 3 of them from those guys - a 1914, 1918 (no date, so it has to be that one year, when they didn't mark them), and a 1925, if I recall correctly. Went through their entire stock of M1895s. Good times

Lol, its not a matter of 'safe queens'. Ive been looking at these things and saying ammo, or even brass or dies, are hard to come by is an understatement.

Thinking about casting for it.

I shoot my Nagant, but not very often. It reminds me of a .38 in terms of recoil.

I don't own any guns I cant shoot. At least once or twice a year.

Fiocchi and Prvi Partizan make new ammo, and some Russian surplus surfaces every now and then. It's usually not that hard to find ammo for them. It's not that cheap though, at about 50c per.

If it something you want, I don't think that price is to far out of line for a nice example. I am not personally super interested in the Nagant pistol.

I decided I want a Nambu. Would you pay almost a grand for a pistol you might never shoot?

I would. I like old guns for the HIstory that's behind them. I don't mind having guns that I don't shoot all the time. I prefer to shoot modern guns, anyway. Especially if I built them.
